Aaron Black: The Democrats' Karl Rove?

In the heat of last year's Republican primary "Black" provided Breitbart ammo to target Rubio.

"According to Hadas Gold, a source claims that Aaron Black, an associate with Democracy Partners, tipped off reporters at Breitbart about upcoming disruptions and provided them with raw video."


I found by googling that going back to April 2012 he as Aaron Minter and an ally were very dedicated to the cause of OWS.

"Jeffrey Brewer, 34, and Aaron Minter, 40, spoke to NY1 News on Wednesday and allowed a news team to follow them as they placed decals on a subway car seats, cops said.

The stickers read: “Priority Seating for the 1%.”

Surely this qualifies as Machiavellian.

The 2nd link I provided shows his OWS street cred. That's why I wondered if he is a Rove type for liberals.
